Who the Bezzera Mitica S MN Portafilter Machine is made for
Espresso and milk without waiting in between.
A heat exchanger keeps brew water and steam ready at the same time. You pull espresso and steam milk without switching and without waiting.
- 01 Milk drinks without waitingHeat exchanger: pull espresso and steam milk at the same time.
- 02 Mornings in a hurryReady after 8 to 10 minutes. No timer needed.
- 03 For those who want to keep it a long time58 mm portafilter, the most common size. Filter baskets, tampers and levelers are available from many manufacturers.
What's inside
The technology that matters for espresso.
On the machine

PreinfusionMechanical preinfusion

Group headFaema E61
The E61 was introduced in 1961 and has remained the reference point since. A thermosiphon keeps it at temperature continuously, instead of you having to search for it before each shot. You can get seals, shower screens and portafilters for it from specialty dealers, not just the manufacturer.
Pump typevibration pump
The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable. It is audible, namely for the duration of the extraction, about half a minute.

Boiler volume2.0 l
Boiler materialbrass
Brass combines good thermal conductivity with robustness and has been common in espresso machines for decades. As with copper, water hardness determines how often you need to descale.
Preinfusionmechanical
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure. This is done mechanically through the design of the brew group, without electronics and without adjustments. It prevents channeling in the puck, that is spots where the water breaks through too quickly.
Flow controloptional
With Flow Control you manually control how quickly the water runs through the coffee grounds: start slowly, then increase pressure. That takes the edge off acidic beans and gives you an extra adjustment. Without Flow Control the extraction runs at a fixed pressure, and that is enough for most recipes.
Water
Water connectionwater tank
With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet. For that you have to refill, and the water quality is in your hands: filtered or soft water reduces descaling.

Portafilter diameter58 mm
58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.
Cup warmeryes
The top surface of the machine is warmed by residual heat. A prewarmed cup draws less heat from the espresso, and those last degrees decide whether it still tastes the same in the glass as in the cup.
Heat-up time8-10 min
Standbyno
The machine switches itself off after a set time or goes into a low-power state. That saves electricity when you turn it on in the morning and then forget about it during the day. Without standby it stays on until you switch it off.

Useful accessories
The parts you really need
Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mmThe tamper supplied with most machines is made of plastic. A properly fitting tamper fills the portafilter basket to the edge, and it is exactly there that you find out whether the water will flow through evenly.
146,78 €incl. VAT.
Brewing group brush with wooden handleRun it through the brew group once a day, two minutes of work. Without that, coffee oils build up on the shower screen and the extraction becomes uneven long before you taste it.
19,00 €incl. VAT.
PULY Caff Powder NSFBackflush with a blind basket every one to two weeks. This removes the coffee oils from the group head and valve that the water jet does not reach.
13,71 €incl. VAT.
NuovaPoint Asti espresso cups, 6-piece setSechs Espressotassen mit Untertasse, 68 ml: die Größe, in die auch ein doppelter Bezug passt.
47,42 €6 Stück, 7,90 € je Stückincl. VAT.

Ist die Bezzera Mitica S MN Siebträgermaschine für Filterkaffee geeignet?
Die Bezzera Mitica S MN Siebträgermaschine ist primär für die Zubereitung von Espresso konzipiert. Während sie technisch in der Lage sein könnte, auch Filterkaffee zuzubereiten, ist dies nicht ihre Hauptfunktion, und ihre Konstruktion ist auf Espressoproduktion ausgerichtet. Für optimale Ergebnisse bei Filterkaffee gibt es spezialisierte Maschinen, die dafür besser geeignet sind.
How does the mechanical pre-infusion of the E61 compare to electronic systems?
The pre-infusion of the E61 is done mechanically via the brew lever: you lift it halfway, then water flows without pressure into the coffee bed. After that, you lift it fully, and the pump builds up about 9 bar of pressure. This gives you manual control, but reproducibility is limited. Electronic systems with time control work more precisely and uniformly. With the E61, you can flexibly adjust the pre-infusion duration, which is especially beneficial for different roasts.
Ist die mechanische Preinfusion der E61 ausreichend für moderne Filterkaffee-Röstungen als Espresso, oder brauche ich programmierbare Druckprofile?
Die E61-Preinfusion funktioniert passiv über den Thermosiphon, du kannst sie nicht zeitlich oder druckmäßig einstellen. Für klassische Medium-Röstungen absolut ausreichend: Sie baut sanft Druck auf, vermeidet Channeling. Bei sehr hellen, dichten Filter-Röstungen stößt du an Grenzen, da würdest du von einer programmierbaren Flow-Kontrolle profitieren, die Bezzera hier nicht bietet. Für typische Specialty-Espresso-Röstungen (z. B. Omni-Roasts um 15–20 % Entwicklung) ist die mechanische Preinfusion solide. Willst du Nordic-style auf 95 °C ziehen, brauchst du eine Maschine mit aktivem Druckprofil.
Warum hat Bezzera bei der Mitica S MN auf PID verzichtet, wenn die Aria Top schon Fast Heating + PID hat?
Die Mitica S MN ist bewusst als klassischer Zweikreiser mit E61 positioniert, maximale Robustheit, mechanische Kontrolle, keine Elektronik. Die Aria Top nutzt die BZ-Brühgruppe mit direkten Heizelementen und PID-Thermostaten, das ermöglicht Fast Heating (15–20 Minuten statt 25–35) und gradgenaue Temperaturwahl. Die Mitica richtet sich an Puristen, die mit Flush-Routinen arbeiten wollen und die E61-Haptik schätzen. Die Aria an alle, die schnellerready sein wollen und Temperatur digital regeln. Preislich liegt die Mitica niedriger, du zahlst für die E61-Romantik, nicht für Komfort.
Was bedeutet Zweikreiser und warum ist das wichtig?
Zweikreiser heißt: Ein 2-Liter-Kessel hält Wasser für Dampf bereit, ein zweiter Kreislauf (Wärmetauscher) heizt frisches Wasser für den Espresso. Du kannst also gleichzeitig Espresso ziehen und Milch aufschäumen, ohne Wartezeit zwischen den beiden. Für Cappuccino oder Latte Macchiato ist das praktisch. Die Bezzera Mitica S MN arbeitet mit diesem System und der klassischen E61-Brühgruppe, die über einen Hebel gesteuert wird. Aufheizen dauert 8-10 Minuten, danach ist die Maschine durchgehend einsatzbereit.
